Wednesday Local Music Radar: Daddy Banana Bread

Snarly teenagers shouting, abusing guitars and destroying sacred cows. They've been doing it since who knows when and we'd miss them terribly if they weren't out there expressing angst and disgust with corporate America and the powers that be, etc. Rathdrum's Daddy Banana Bread are three high school gents who thrash through their songs like a hot knife melts through butter, recorded raw in the garage on an old boombox. Naturally, they list their influences as "bands that preps dont listen to". Some of the songs posted on their MySpace page verge on average, but with "Kurt Cobain Ain't No Saint", they've come up with a fun little scorcher that expresses a sentiment bound to give pause to those who still worship the tortured spirit of Aberdeen's most famous son.
